Download FAR 2015/65 The 2014 stock assessment of paua (Haliotis iris) for Milford, George, Central, and Dusky in PAU 5A

This report summarises the stock assessment for Milford, George, Centre, and Dusky in PAU 5A which includes fishery data up to the 2013–14 fishing year. The base case model (1.5) estimated that the spawning stock population in 2014 was 47% (40–54%) of B0. The projection indicated that the probability of the spawning stock biomass being above the target (40% ) will be higher than 90% over the next three years, and that the stock status is extremely unlikely to be below the soft (20% B0)) and hard limits (10% B0)
